Just showed it to G/F's daughter, who is teenage, style conscious, can send text messages without looking and my reference to whats hip and cool and whats pants.
She made the vomit mime, so I guess we are in agreement - it looks a dogs dinner, never mind how good it may be.

it's something that would need to be seen in the flesh.

it looks small but I like it. Not a fan of pretty bikes but not as far as a street fighter styled machine...hence me having an SV.


Yes I do mean I think the SV is an ugly bike but I like it

I see this in the same way that I saw the sv in 1998...WOW
As for how it rides and handles is another matter, but for me I certainly like the looks

Don't care what mods it has(IL4 or not) I have to like the look too
And that is one of the worst looking bikes I have ever seen

I'mlooking it and suspecting it's one of the nails in the SV's coffin, to be honest... Or at least, the SV as we know it. It's ****-ugly but it looks a good package. Few things that strike a bum note, apart from the cosmetics, such as the cheap calipers and wavy discs...

I'd definately take one on as a cosmetic rebuild, if the basic package turns out as good as it looks. it wants a whole new front end, er, and back end too... But that's OK.
